This typically indicates that you told the program you have more than zero personal use days and/or less than 100% business use.

- Days rented: The day count starts on the first day a renter "could" have moved in.

- Days personal use: The number of days of personal use **AFTER** you converted it to a rental. What you used it for before converting it to a rental does not count for anything.

- Business use percentage: ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. If you did not live in the property for one single day *after* you converted it to a rental, as your primary residence, 2nd home, vacation home or any other type of "personal pleasure" use, then your business use percentage is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
